Towkio “Dropping” New Album While Inside Helium Balloon 100,000 Feet in Air

On February 23, Chicago rapper Towkio drops WWW., his debut studio album. Ahead of its official release, he’s premiering the album from a unique location: Today, he’s going up 100,000 feet to the stratosphere in a helium balloon where he’ll listen to the record on a speaker. He’ll then parachute back down to earth. (And despite tweeting, “I go up 100,000 ft dropping my album from space,” he is not physically dropping it, a rep clarified.) Watch footage from the endeavor below.

“I’m not scared,” Towkio recently told DJBooth. “If I die... God forbid, I’m not gonna die. I know he’s protecting me. I see 11:11 every single day. It’s under my spell and under my power that this all will happen. Worst comes to worst, I’ll die the only way I would want to die. I’m not gonna die, though.”
